Kitarou Tanjou: GeGeGe no Nazo

A fog-laced shrine in Yagura Village at dusk, incense curling over a child’s abandoned sandal. A father searches for a missing wife while a blood-bank worker arrives to mourn a dead patriarch. At the shrine, the first corpse appears—then the real hunt begins. A ’70s kaiju-horror caper filtered through Studio Ghibli’s mischievous lens.
